Restoring Life from Palestine to the U.S. to Colombia

This Pentecost, the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship is raising $12,000 to support our ongoing work to end gun violence, accompany our partners in Colombia and Mexico, build a network of peace churches, and more. We will split half of all the money we raise with our accompaniment partners in the Presbyterian Church of Colombia (IPC). As police brutality rages in Colombia, in the midst of the still-raging pandemic, it is as clear as ever that peacebuilding efforts are urgent and also needed long-term; it's an honor to support our Colombian partners as they do this transformative, generational work. Make a donation towards our Pentecost campaign goal.  No Air "There is no air between the treatment of Palestinians under the Israeli occupation, and the treatment of Black or indigenous people in the United States. There is shared history, shared ideology, shared methods, and a shared path to liberation. When I look at the recent resurgence of violence by ultra-nationalist settlers and by the state of Israel, and particularly of the horrific consequences of that violence upon the Palestinian people I truly understand what it means to say that no one is free until all of us are free." PPF Co-Moderator Rev. Aric Clark writes of the connections between the struggles for liberation in Palestine and the U.S. in "No Air" for the PPF blog.  How Can We Restore Life Like in Ezekiel?
